Promotions get harder the higher up the ranks you go so it becomes increasingly
rare to announce such events.
I’m very pleased to say there is ample excuse for a celebration bash because I
have three promotions to announce this week.
HILL, John, 199 promoted from ATP Captain to Senior ATP Captain.
STOPFORTH, Fred, 207 promoted from Senior Commercial Captain to ATP Captain.
STACEY, John, 218 promoted from Flight Officer to Captain.
First my congratulations to Mick for jumping off the bottom rung and moving up
to Captain status – the first of many I hope.
Fred has been plugging away at flights solidly over the last few months and has
crossed the 500hr mark to promote him to ATP Captain. This is a well deserved
promotion and I congratulate Fred on achieving this level.
John Hill has taken a break from ATC but has not been idle, flying some long
sectors in recent months. Having broken the 750hr barrier this promotes him to
Senior ATP Captain and places him eighth in the JHB rankings. I doff my cap...
Senior ATP Captain marks a plateau in the rankings because the next two levels
to Master and Command ATP Captain require a huge jump in=2
0hours. In truth the Master ATP Captain rank was introduced late on in Noble
Air because it was not anticipated that some pilots would ever break the 1000
hour barrier and the Command ATP Captain was only brought in after some Noble
pilots broke through 3000 hours of flight. To put it into perspective the
current 3500 hour requirement for Command ATP Captain would require a pilot to
fly for 2.5 hours every night for nearly four years.
Regardless of these high levels any promotion is well deserved as each is
graduated so that your level of experience will have improved markedly from the
previous level. I sincerely congratulate everyone who achieves a higher
ranking..
Now where did I put that tankard..
